First Aid Kit's last album The Big Black and the Blue was one of my favorites of 2010 which is why it is so hard to wait until January 24th of 2012 to hear the newest album. Luckily, we can finally hear the first single in full and it has that same dark beauty that made their previous release so entrancing. If you're smart and in the right city at the right time you can catch them on tour opening for Lykke Li in the US. You won't want to miss it. [...]

Yes, our favourite Swedish duo First Aid Kit are back. After the massive success of The Big Black and The Blue , which we shortlisted as album of the year in 2010, the girls will be releasing their new album, The Lion's Roar , on January 24th 2012 through Wichita Recordings. You can listen to the title-track from the album (released as a limited 7" on December 5th) above these words. It's bloody beautiful.

Swedish folk pop duo First Aid Kit announced their second album, the Mike Mogis-produced The Lion's Roar , in mid-September and yesterday they released the album's title track as the first single from the album. "The Lion's Roar" was premiered yesterday on PSL in Sweden, The Guardian in the UK and NPR in the US, and it certainly shows promise for the upcoming full-length after having been a live favourite for quite some time now. Listen to "The Lion's Roar" below and try not to worry too much that there's still three months left until the full-length drops. [...]

It's been almost a year since we posted on First Aid Kit. They had just toured Australia and were performing a one off in a Melbourne laneway on SideshowAlleyTV . Today, The Guardian premiered the titlle track from their second album, “The Lion’s Roar”. Have a listen.

The Swedish sisters Soderberg return with "Lion's Roar", excerpted here from the duo's upcoming LP of the same name. FAK's beautiful "Ghost Town" was one of our favorite tracks of 2010 and "Lion's Roar" is right there in terms of quality. The tune is folky but also references dusty country western balladry, (Think Townes Van Zandt). The Lion's Roar is due digitally November 8th.

First Aid Kit: “The Lion’s Roar” The title track from First Aid Kit’s sophomore LP, The Lion’s Roar , premiered at The Guardian today, picking up where the Söderberg sisters’ nuanced, vocal harmony-driven debut left off before exploring a layered full-band sound that recalls a number of their folk-rock contemporaries (Fleet Foxes, Neko Case, et al.). With a little help from producer/Bright Eyes multi-instrumentalist Mike Mogis, they’ve taken a promising step forward here while retaining the indelible spirit behind The Big Black [...]

Despues de que lanzaran el año pasado "The Big Black & The Blue", este par de hermanas suecas acaban de anunciar que el proximo mes de Enero estaran poniendo a la venta lo que sera su segundo album de estudio titulado "The Lion's Roar" pero si estan familiarizados con ellas o simplemente gustan en extremo de bandas y proyectos con un estilo mucho mas folk, elegante y mucho mas simple, entonces seguramente querran escuchar a la brevedad algo nuevo de First Aid Kit y en caso de que aun no las conoscan, les digo que tienen una calidad [...]

New track from First Aid Kit premiered on NPR's All Songs Considered today, called "The Lion's Roar". These sisters have got a lot of soul behind their voices, it's what makes them sound older than they are. Like their throats have spent too long breathing in cold air and it's made their vocal chords swell, enough to fill the big sound that comes out. This song has got that powerful, let slightly aggressive tone. Admitting cowardice and placing blame. Pretty badass, ladies. Their upcoming LP will be out digitally on Dec. 5th and physically on [...]

Facebook Roving gang of musical Welsh nogoodniks Los Campesinos! announced the existence of their fourth album Hello Sadness just last week , but they've already followed up that news with both the first downloadable MP3 from the record and video, both for the record's leadoff track - a song which despite the band's supposed claims to welcoming despair into their lives, sound pretty damn peppy. Or shouty, at least. And while you're getting down to that, they've also announced a handful of - well, four - [...]
